2. In the images above, use the scale bar to deduce what are you most likely to be looking at. What do you think is being shown in the figure? A. An image of many cells in a tissue. B. A sub-cellular image. C. An image of a whole cell. The location of phosphatidylserine (PS) was visualized in the figure above by a protein called annexin that specifically recognizes and binds to PS. Annexin was injected into a blood vessel in the live embryo at either day E13 (left) or E14 (right). The live embryo was cultured for 30 min before fixing and staining. Annexin can leak out of embryonic blood vessels by leaking between the immature cells. Annexin is labeled in brown. Ignore the arrows..
